Can anything be changed in here?

The guatentee is sold as 10 yrs (on the paint work when you read it). Two yrs on the electrical bits. The company Ecostrad ltd is based near York where I live. So tomorrow I am going to call them and have a chat about it all. I feel it is really unfair this rad has failed, even though I...

Ok. another question though. On the new heater I have asked for a new guarentee of 2 yrs. Ive been told this is not possible and the current guarantee applies. At screw fix I have bought tools which have failed after a year or so and I get a new tool as replacement, but this tool also has a...

I have spoken to the rad supplier and they will send me a new rad. I am a bit worried the other rads could easily break down in the future as well. Say in 5 yrs time. This one has lasted about 18mths. So my question is can this fault be repaired by myself or a repair shop ? The units cost...

Ok thanks all for the info

This is not an attic conversion. This is all original. The door is just a pain, that's why I'm thinking of removing. But sure there is some reg which says you can't

This is the control panel on the rad

https://www.electricradiatorsdirect.co.uk/ecostrad-iq-ceramic-wifi-controlled-electric-radiator-2000w/ This is the rad I have and it is under guarantee still by 3 months (2 yr). Everything is working as normal on the control screen. It is calling for heat and is not in any time off mode. The...

I have an old terrace and the attic is an original bedroom. Built around 1900. There is a staircase going up to it from the small hallway on the first floor. I have an old wood door on this entrance and a small glass panel over this door. Am I allowed to remove this door and small panel? Is...

Ok, so no sensor. Thats fine and I will remember in 70k miles to top it up again. Hope to still have it as its in good condition. Having the dpf cleaned out when the liquid it topped up this week.

Any idea where the sensor will be and can it be replaced ?

Right I have the answer !!! The mot guy has just been to do the diagnostic and the additive tank is totally empty. This is not adblue but another additive which is pushed into the DPF. So he will add some later this week. He needs to ramp it up and remove the tank. No warning lights have...

Ok useful to know. I’m doing the diagnostic next week

But if the joins are bad could I use stixall? It’s pretty good in wet conditions

Ok thanks

I hope the photo shows the issue. The outlet is joined onto by me and my neighbour. Mine is wood connecting with plastic and his might be similar. It leaks in this area. What can I do to improve it?

In 2021 i hit a rock at 20mph. Thought it wasnt that big. It took out the whole under carriage and oil sump. So i had a lot of parts replaced under there. Reading my receipt now it says the rear exhaust was replaced, interm exhaust pipe, particle filter exch, particle filter clamp, inlet...

I will look at the forte products next time. Ive done everything you need to do - changeoil and filter, add the cleaners, take it for 1h driving before in 3rd gear and not switch off at the mot centre. Still got the same rate i did on the first day, so a fail. If you are getting 0.9 i think...

Thought I had planned this time but will try the forte stuff as well. I’m going to get a diagnostic on the filter to see where it’s at with soot etc.

So i ran the van for an hour in 3rd gear at about 50mph on the dual carriageway. I had added to dpf cleaner x 2 in the fuel tank a few days before. Just been down for the retest and it was still at 1.5 approx. But they put it through which was nice of them. So the system has a problem. Do...
